To hide all toolbars in GIMP, the most effective method is to switch out of Single-Window Mode and then hide the toolbox and docks. Here's how:
-
Disable Single-Window Mode: Go to Window > Single-Window Mode and uncheck it. This will separate the image windows from the toolbox and docks.
-
Maximize (or Fullscreen) the Image Window: Maximize the image window you're working on, or press F11 to make it fullscreen, giving you the largest possible view of your image.
-
Hide the Toolbox and Docks: Press the Tab key. This toggles the visibility of the toolbox and docks, effectively hiding all the toolbars and panels around the image. Pressing Tab again will bring them back.
By following these steps, you can achieve a clean, distraction-free workspace when working with your images in GIMP.
